The Safeguard

    Lavinia Wheeler had watched as her world had been torn  apart over the past three years When the Civil War comes to her doorstep, her generosity in opening her house as a hospital brings a change in her life far  beyond any blessing she could have dreamed of or asked for.
   Between dealing with the Yankee-hating townsfolk, her former slaves, a passel of wounded  Yankees, a government that takes a dim view of people who aid the enemy, and a  group of raiders that is ravaging the countryside, Lavinia isn't sure that she  has time to care for herself, much less fall in love.
   Cavalry  Sergeant Asa Sheppard has been given the assignment  to guard Miss Wheeler's treasures  as a way to let him rest from the wound and exhaustion that had sapped his will  to live. Dealing with the peppery woman and facing the dangers beside her  not only cures his wounds; it brings him love again.
 
THE SAFEGUARD  is a story of hardship, hope and joy in the midst of strife and suffering.

The Dying

    Townsend lifted his face into the October  wind.  "I think it'll all be ending soon.  Everywhere." 
        Wallins and Sheppard looked at him. 
        "I've   had a feeling for a while...  The dying is happening all  over," he said.  "I could almost  taste it, like something at the back of my throat, when I was with the  armies.  You can see it every time  you turn around.  Things are coming  to a close, shutting down.  Whether  for me or this war, I can't say."
